Issue/Introduction

Deployments in SaaS that are installing and configuring a salt minion fail intermittently with errors similar to this:

Failed: Deployment 'Test-Deployment-XX' failed with error [ Test-Deployment-XX Create - Failed with error "Resource [/resources/compute/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx]:: SaltStack resource with job id [xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx] failed. Error:: Error getting the salt configuration for SaltStack resource request id [xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx] with job id [xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx]: [500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR Failed to submit sync action [action-id: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx][action-run: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx] for execution]" ]
